The Pacific Northwest is a global ecological "hotspot" because of its relatively healthy native ecosystems, a high degree of biodiversity, and the number and scope of restoration initiatives that have been undertaken there. Restoring the Pacific Northwest gathers and presents the best examples of state-of-the-art restoration techniques and projects. It is an encyclopedic overview that will be an invaluable reference not just for restorationists and students working in the Pacific Northwest, but for practitioners across North America and around the world.

Pocket gophers (Thomomy spp.) have an important effect on reforestation in the Pacific Northwest through damage to conifer reproduction. Damage is most serious east of the Cascade Range in Washington and Oregon and northeastern California. Damage also has been reported in northern Idaho. The purpose of this report is to review pocket gopher problems in the Northwest, summarize present knowledge of gopher biology, outline current control methods, and suggest future research needs.
